I have thought this over for a long time, and considered going for the AC30...but the AC50 is more powerful, less expensive, and has the control panel on the front of the amp which I find easier to work with than on top as in the AC30. I am positively stoked. What are your thoughts on this? As we've discussed, Edge has held Voxes in high regard for many years.

    nice! I only have a little $45 Peavy, but it packs quite a punch

    Argh! I hate to be "that guy" but if there's anyway you can cancel your order and buy from these guys I would do that instead.

    Same price. Free shipping plus per there website:


    "Why buy your new Vox AC-50CP2 Classic Plus Amplifier from North Coast Music?

    Free shipping within the continental United States

    Have you heard about shipping horror stories from other stores? We overpack and double box every AC-50CP2 ampliifier prior to shipment..

    Your choice of brown or black Vox diamond grill cloth at no additional charge to you.

    We charge no state sales tax on amps shipped outside of WI

    Tubes that are microphonic are replaced before shipment

    We check the reverb pan for shipping inbound shipping damage and we replace the reverb pan if necessary before we ship the amp to you.

    Every AC-50CP2 bench tested and burned in for twenty four hours prior to shipment to help eliminate potential "infant mortalities." Specifically, this test is performed in six stages, each four hours long, to further simulate real world usage.

    Every amp performance tested for proper operation and inspected for rips in the vinyl or defective hardware personally by DoctorVox at North Coast before shipment, defective units rejected and not shipped to the customer, who else does that?

    We do all in our power to deliver you a perfect amp, not just ship you an unopened and untested factory box, as most others do."

    I've always said if I were to get a Vox I'd get it from these guys. They really seem to know their product.

  6. A bit off topic but since it was mentioned...

    SCARS ON BROADWAY

    The album isn't out until next week... but... err...

    What is the name of the band mean? Read this (below) from Guitar World magazine.

    GW - What’s the story behind the name of the band?
    Malakian - In Glendale, where I live, there’s a street called Broadway. The bottoms of the light posts have swastikas on them. They were made that way [in the Twenties]; It’s not like skinheads carved them in or anything like that. The symbols aren’t tilted, like Nazi swastikas are but it’s obvious what they are. And I always thought it was a trip, like, “What’s up with that?” There was always something a little mysterious about it. So one day I was talking to my friend - we were on our way to a hockey game - and he said something about, “Yeah, those swastikas on Broadway.” And I said, “Wait I second…” I didn’t think I wanted to call the band Swastikas on Broadway [laughs], but Scars on Broadway came to me right after that, because of the light posts.

    Note: I used to live in Glendale and the swastika story is 100% true. Glendale was once a big KKK stronghold in the 1920's-1940's. It's also interesting with it's bad racist past, that Glendale now has a huge vietnamese and armenian population

    Done.

    Nice catch man, thanks for looking out . I also like supporting a smaller outfit rather than a powerhouse like Musician's Friend (no disrespect to them though). I can't wait to get my Vox!

    50W on that thing must be enought to bring the house down! And the distortion is awesome!

    No problem! Be sure to let us know how everything goes. It seems like they'll really give you the white glove treatment.
  10. Ok, here's another Q. for you Jeff, or anyone else in the mood to answer - what guitars has Edge used for 11 O'Clock over the years?

    From what I've seen, he alternated between the blackie Stratocaster and the Explorer in the 80s, during the Elevation era he stuck to his 'Splorer from what I gather. I could easily be wrong about this though.
  12. No, indeed he used mainly theGibson Explorer he used for I Will Follow throughout the tours. The famous one:



    Love that guitar. Someone here was given one like that by his girlfriend... Maaannn I want one
